Ok. Sure. Count me skeptical.<\/p>\n<p>This whole stunt reminds me of the <a title=\"Breatharianism\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Inedia\">Breatharian<\/a>, Wiley Brooks. <a title=\"Wiley Brooks\" href=\"http:\/\/community.seattletimes.nwsource.com\/archive\/?date=19931005&amp;slug=1724507\">Brooks<\/a>, like many Breatharians, claims he can live solely on light and air. He doesn&#8217;t need food. Or drink. Which is fine, if you can get away with it.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In 1983 he [Brooks] was reportedly observed leaving a Santa Cruz 7-Eleven with a Slurpee, hot dog and Twinkies. He told Colors magazine in 2003 that he periodically breaks his fasting with a cheeseburger and a cola, explaining that when he&#8217;s surrounded by junk culture and junk food, consuming them adds balance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I imagine the same fate will strike Mr. Marks. He&#8217;ll get busted reading a food label. Or someone will spot him reading a highway sign. You know, something like &#8220;Detour Ahead.&#8221; At some point, he&#8217;ll need to find the EXIT. Or choose something from the MENU. I&#8217;m not saying it&#8217;s going to happen at a Santa Cruz 7-Eleven. But it could. It really could.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, Harry. No cheating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So this Harry Marks dude announces he&#8217;s going to quit reading for a year. Ok. Sure. Count me skeptical.
